Because I'm interested in so many topics, I'm thinking about doing "seasons" for my writing/newsletters.
Ex: S01 I'm talking about energy management, S02 I'm talking about interior design, S03 I'm talking about productivity, etc.

I recently signed up for Farnam Streets Learning Community and with that, get access to the "Art of Reading Course"
I took it yesterday and it teaches how to choose the best 3-5 books on a topic to truly *learn* something...

Thought that was revolutionary because most of the time, I read a book because someone recommends it or an author I like wrote a new book and I want to read it before everyone else.
Long story long, love the idea and was coming to this hypothesis recently. So I might cop.

Just DMed you about this. Would love to learn more about choosing the best 3-5 books on a particular topic.
Ideally, I'd choose one "tree" book with supporting "branch" books as talks about in his article:

Loved this article, thanks for sharing. What are good the examples of tree books that are must read? How do you know if one is a tree book or a branch book?

I'm afraid the only answer is to flip through the table of contents + skim the synopsis/intro.
You can usually figure out the shape of the book from that.
